Greinke, who made his second start since returning from a broken left collarbone, gave up nine hits, five earned runs and three walks -- all a season high -- in four innings of work against his former team. Greinke was traded to the Angels midseason in 2012 before signing with the Dodgers in the offseason.
"I didn't think about it at all," Greinke said. "Everything was bad, not just command. Just no feel out there, no adjustments to be made. Started out bad. I got out of some jams early but never really got better."
Greinke has allowed six runs in 9 1/3 innings of work since returning from injury. He will try to bounce back Monday at home against another former team -- the Angels.

Howard went 3 for 5 with three runs driven in, before being replaced for a pinch hitter after his third single in the eighth inning.
The cortisone injection Howard had in the knee appears to have helped, and he should be able to play through any lingering issue. He is batting .256 on the season, with 25 RBI.

Harang, who made his first start since May 7 due to lower back stiffness, gave up an RBI single to Albert Pujols and a two-run homer to Josh Hamilton in the first inning, and allowed another two-run homer off the bat of Howie Kendrick in the fourth. He surrendered seven earned runs in total on nine hits and no walks over 3 2/3 innings.
Harang, who struck out four over 70 pitches, dropped his record to 1-5 with the loss. His ERA climbed to 8.58. Harang has lost five of his first six starts for Seattle, though he had shown improvement in his previous two before suffering the injury. He may still be hurting for Seattle.
Harang is next scheduled to start Monday against San Diego, the team he pitched for in 2011. That is, if he's not either injured or designated for assignment, which the Seattle Times suggests is a possibility.

Quintana carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning before he surrendered a one-out broken-bat single to David Ortiz. He allowed just three hits as he fired 6 2/3 scoreless innings. The left-hander struck out five and walked two as he picked up his third win of the season.
"In the fifth inning, I realized, man, they haven't got a hit yet," Quintana said. "All I wanted to do was just get outs and keep the team ahead."
Quintana (3-1) picked up his first win since April 24. He is 1-1 with a 4.03 ERA in his last five starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Monday at home against the Cubs. He is 2-1 with a 3.79 ERA in four starts at home.

"That’s not a big deal to me,” Garza told ESPN.com. "As long as I get outs, it works. I watched Jamie Moyer forever get outs at 81 mph. Velocity is nothing. I felt great. It sucks I couldn’t keep going."
It was easy for Garza to say that after averaging a healthy 93.4 miles per hour with his fastball, while not allowing a hit on either his four or two-seam offerings. He threw just 81 pitches in the game, and Garza obviously hopes the team will take the reigns off moving forward.
"You think they’re going to take me out without a fight?" Garza said. "The competitive part of me doesn’t want to leave what I started."
Garza held the Pirates to just one hit in five innings of work.
